Just Over 2 Weeks Post-op

By I-wanna-be-a-loser

I am 16 days post-op and down 20 pounds!! Heck yeah! Well in the last few days I gained then lost 2 pounds and it felt like it took forever!! yeah, yeah, I hear you - we didn't put this weight on over night... lol. I think my issue was eyeballing 1/2 cup of food and not actually measuring... I fixed that issue now!! I eat 3 times a day, 1/2 a cup each meal and I am never hungry - but I could eat more if I let myself......

 

I slipped and fell 1.5 weeks post-op and my port spot still hurts pretty bad. It doesn't feel dislodged, just like a pulled muscle so I am not too worried about it. Stupid ice!!

 

 

I am hoping to lose 6 pounds by Jan 1st - That will put me at an even 200 for the start of 2012... 6 pounds over Christmas?!?! That is going to take some hard work!!!

 

LETS DO THIS!!!

 

 

Happy (insert your holiday here) to everyone!!! <3 <3

    Wow, 16 days and you are eating food? I can't even move out of the clear liquid stage until the 27th and I had my surgery the past Monday the 12th. But when I am able to, I am going to enjoy every second!

    Just think, you will be the only one out of your friends to lose weight over the holidays!

    Good luck!

    @loretta - I wear mostly yoga pants these days... I haven't noticed much of a size change as they are so stretchy... I am fitting some size 15 jeans that I could not do up in November though.. :)
